Apple’s New CEO Is Reportedly Pushing to Stuff More AI into iPhones (gizmodo.com)

Apple CEO John Ternus pressured Apple senior VP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi to “accelerate the company’s road map and move quickly beyond merely making necessary improvements to Siri,” reports Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in today’s Power On newsletter.

Citing anonymous sources, Gurman writes that Ternus is “frustrated by what he sees as a reluctance to embrace AI with the same urgency as competitors,” and pushed Federighi for changes in a meeting behind closed doors. Federighi, Gurman points out, has been considered an AI skeptic with concerns “about the technology’s privacy, security, societal and employment implications.”

Funny. In my 1986 college freshman year I was required to take an ethics for engineers course. They told us working for the military industrial complex was bad.

Curiously, the MIC was hiring and was where the well-paying jobs were at the time. Also, the field was impacted thanks to decades of cold war STEM push.

And there you get the contrived desperation, that drove studying engineers students into Lockheed, Northrop and McDonnell Douglas like Russian girls into Epstein's sex spa for billionaires.

It turns out you can't eat ethics. Although I still find myself judging ICE recruits.
